Driving at night
When we drive at night we’re faced with many issues that affect our vision. With the lack of light, our vision is limited in concern to depth perception, distinguishing colours and our peripheral vision, all of which are very important when it comes to driving. We’re also faced with glare and reflections from headlights, streetlights and brake lights. Crizal Drive has been specifically designed to reduce reflections up to 90% when you’re on the road at night(2) resulting in comfortable vision and improved visual acuity. Get your confidence back when on the road no matter the time of day by enhancing your glasses for driving.
